I went birding in Brazil with Richard Raby back in March. It was a fabulous experience and Richard a great guide. Note to self–I really should write up my thoughts and list from that trip and post them. I love owls but rarely see them in the daytime. Maybe it was the warm rain on a gray day, but these guys were everywhere. Can you see the rain in the picture?
Check out the other Skywatchers too at SkyWatch Friday.
And for two-fers. Wrenaisssance has hosted a terrific I and the Bird #83. It is all about the joy of birds and birding and birders. Check it out.
Stumble It!
I can see the rain. Still have never seen an owl, except in captivity. Would be awesome.
Oh, I love this. The owl looks so cool, and yet so alert. And thanks for pointing out the rain – I would have missed the presence of the drops otherwise.
That’s a wonderful photo of a beautiful subject. What a landscape!
FABULOUS… I love to see the owls
Wow – this is great. Is that a burrowing owl? I love that he seems to be enjoying the rain. It is also a neat scene – rain and a cactus – not two things I usually think of together!
What a well captured owl.
Yes, I can see the rain:) Have never seen an owl in real life, thanks for sharing:)
What a wonderful shot, Bev! I, too, missed the falling raindrops at first glance. Too busy focusing on that handsome owl, I guess.
Excellent capture of the owl! It looks so detailed. And you’re dedicated to hang out in the rain taking pictures of owls!
Beautiful picture. I love it! And Burrowing Owls are one of the few owls that are active in the day, at least in Utah.
Hi Beverly!
Great nature /bird pic.
All the elements of nature are here – Owl, rain, plant/cactus, foreground/mountains.
TFS,

I’ve really got to get out birding more….this is a great shot!
This is the kind of vacation pic I’d like to have! Thanks for the enlargement to see the rain. What did you wear on your head?
